No. You will lose performance. Engine needs some back pressure.

If you want super aggressive, I'd recommend a flow master super 10 welded in front of rear axle and straight pipe to back (remove resonator if it's a 2012+) https://www.dropbox.com/s/9b8l1uqjno...%2013%20PM.mov

Dat burbly rev at very end

Nope, I just removed the stock resonator and had a flowmaster super 10 muffler ($60) welded in it's place. Then just pipe out the back. Nothing fancy. Everything engine wise was stock

I think I got mine off summit; I'm sure amazon has them as well. You want 2.5" in and outlets. Also centered inlet and outlet. No you won't void you warranty
